Yesterday Dottie asked you guys for fun-but-simple ideas for the Peach’s 2nd birthday party. I looooove all the clever ideas you guys threw out there! (the train party ideas all sounded SO great…)

I wanted to throw another idea in the mix…here’s my thinking. At age two your child KINDA knows what’s going on at their birthday, but you can still get away with calling all the shots. So why not throw a colorful fun party that the Peach will appreciate but YOU will looooooove. Yes Miss Dottie, I’m talkin’ a Matryoshka Party!

We can dial this sucker up and get crazy or we can keep it simple and sweet. Check it out! We begin with a simple piece of fabric as a lovely backdrop.

I think the Peach would looooove to push these little cuties around in her shopping cart! And I’d wrap them in a box, inside a box, inside a box! How fun for a little one to open up “nesting” presents??

I’ve seen blank Matryoshka sets in Japantown (at the big bookstore Kinokunaya, or something close to that name). One of the display sets had been painted like Star Wars characters, but one could easily paint or decoupage, say, the Peach and her family, if one was feeling slap-dash-crafty!
